Hey guys I think its worth stating that I have been trying to code for 1 week. I am trying to access some Json data. My innitial code was the below:"import mechanize import urllib import re def getData(): post_url = "http://www.tweetnaps.co.uk/leaderboards/leaderboard_json/all_time"; browser = mechanize.Browser() browser.set_handle_robots(False) browser.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Firefox')] #These are the parameters you've got from checking with the aforementioned tools parameters = {'page' : '1', 'rp' : '10', 'sortname' : 'total_pl', 'sortorder' : 'desc'} #Encode the parameters data = urllib.urlencode(parameters) trans_array = browser.open(post_url,data).read().decode('UTF-8') #print trans_array myfile = open("test.txt", "w") myfile.write(trans_array) myfile.close() getData() raw_input("Complete")" I was recommended to use the following code to access the Json data directly, however I cannot get it to return anything. I think the guy that recommended me this method must have got something wrong? Or perhaps I am simply incompetent: import mechanize import urllib import json def getData(): post_url = "http://www.tweetnaps.co.uk/leaderboards/leaderboard_json/current_week"; browser = mechanize.Browser() browser.set_handle_robots(False) browser.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Firefox')] #These are the parameters you've got from checking with the aforementioned tools parameters = {'page' : '1', 'rp' : '50', 'sortname' : 'total_pl', 'sortorder' : 'desc' } #Encode the parameters data = urllib.urlencode(parameters) trans_array = browser.open(post_url,data).read().decode('UTF-8') text1 = json.loads(trans_array) print text1['rows'][0]['id'] #play around with these values to access different data.. getData() He told me to "#play around with these values to access different data.." really cant get anything out of this, any ideas? Many thanks AEA
I've just tried it. It prints "1048". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
